OBHG Education Subcommittee
Electrolytes K+ - Increase will decrease rate and force Na+ - Increase will decrease force Ca++ - Increase will increase force
Temperature Low - Decreased rate Hi - Increased rate,Increased force
Humoral/Chemical Catecholamines – increase rate and force ADH – increased secretion increases preload Acids – increases in acids decreases function

OBHG Education Subcommittee
Acute Right Sided Failure associated with acute inferior wall MI hypotension normal to slow heart rate JVD chest clear
Treatment: fluid resuscitation
Heart Failure
Note: NTG contraindicated for HR < 60 and/or hypotensionNote: NTG contraindicated for HR < 60 and/or hypotension
OBHG Education Subcommittee
Volume overload inappropriate fluid resuscitation diligent monitoring of respiratory status required
when administering IV fluids
Heart Failure

OBHG Education Subcommittee
CATEGORIZING FAILURE
• Left or Right sided heart failure
• Forward or Backward ventricular failure– Backward failure is secondary to elevated
systemic venous pressures.– Forward ventricular failure is secondary to
left ventricle failure and reduced flow into the aorta and systemic circulation
OBHG Education Subcommittee
LV BACKWARD EFFECTSDecreased emptying of the left ventricle
Increased volume and end-diastolic
pressure in the left ventricle
Increased volume (pressure) in the left atrium
Increased volume in pulmonary veins
OBHG Education Subcommittee
Increased volume in pulmonary capillary bed = increased hydrostatic pressure
Transudation of fluid from capillaries to alveoli
Rapid filling of alveolar spaces
Pulmonary edema
LV BACKWARD EFFECTS cont’d.
OBHG Education Subcommittee
LV FORWARD EFFECTS
Decreased cardiac output
Decreased perfusion of tissues of body
Decreased blood flow to kidneys and glands
Increased reabsorption of sodium and water and
vasoconstriction
OBHG Education Subcommittee
Increased secretion of sodium and water-retaining hormones
Increased extracellular fluid volume
Increased total blood volume and increased systemic blood pressure
LV FORWARD EFFECTS cont’d.
OBHG Education Subcommittee
RV BACKWARD EFFECTS
Decreased emptying of the right ventricle
Increased volume and end-diastolic pressure in
the right ventricle
Increased volume (pressure) in right atrium
Increased volume and pressure in the great veins
OBHG Education Subcommittee
Increased volume in the systemic venous Increased volume in the systemic venous circulationcirculation
Increased volume in distensible organs Increased volume in distensible organs (hepatomegaly, splenomegaly)(hepatomegaly, splenomegaly)
Increased pressures at capillary lineIncreased pressures at capillary line
Peripheral, dependant edema and serous Peripheral, dependant edema and serous infusioninfusion
RV BACKWARD EFFECTS cont’d.
OBHG Education Subcommittee
RV FORWARD EFFECTS
Decreased volume from the RV to the lungs
Decreased return to the left atrium and
subsequent decreased cardiac output
All the forward effects of left heart failure
